Does my shelter cat appear to be part Oriental?

[stephanie10]

I adopted a domestic shorthair cat last month and he just turned one year old. He is very long and shiny and weighs 11 lbs, though maybe more now as he's grown since we took  him home.. Just for fun, I was wondering if he appears to be part Oriental to any of you.

Whoa, I don't know why this loaded that way. Sorry guys!

Yes, could be.  

Or a siamese mated with a blackie - the child will not be pointed, but a blackie oriental alike.   They are near akin these breeds, and siameses are more common.

Thank you for your reply! He is such a sweet cat He loves to run and play but is also very affectionate and makes cute noises a lot. He is into evvvverything and likes to touch or stand in the middle of everything we do!

Does he 'talk' a lot? With that longer face and skinny body he looks like he has a lot of oriental in him. My oriental cross talks a lot. (and talks back!) No matter what he is, he's a beautiful cat!

Thank you! I think so too, He looks like a little wild cat He does make noises a lot. If I call him, he jumps up and meows in my face after running to me. He has little high pitched vibrating meow-y reactions to a lot of things.
